Day 5: K-Weather Vibes: Living Through Korea’s Four Seasons
Hey Hive family
It’s Day 5 of my Korean series, and today I’m writing about something I find really interesting Korea’s weather and seasons. A lot of people don’t know this, but South Korea has four very different seasons, and each one changes how people live.
Let’s start with spring (March to May). It’s maybe the most beautiful time in Korea. The weather becomes warm but not too hot. And the best part? Cherry blossoms bloom everywhere! People go outside, take pictures, and have picnics in parks. The air feels fresh, and the country looks so pretty. It’s also the time when many festivals happen and schedule.
Then comes summer (June to August). It’s hot and humid, and sometimes there’s a lot of rain oo, especially during the monsoon season. But people still enjoy it by going to beaches like in Busan or Jeju. Korean summers also mean cold noodles (naengmyeon) and lots of fans and ice creams.
After summer, there’s autumn (September to November). This is my favorite season. The weather becomes cool, the sky is clear, and the leaves change colors red, orange, and yellow everywhere. People go hiking a lot during this season. It’s peaceful and perfect for photos and everything seems amazing.
Finally, there’s winter (December to February). And yes, it snows in Korea! Not just a little in some places, it’s really cold and white everywhere. People wear thick coats, drink hot drinks, and enjoy warm soups. Some even go skiing or visit hot springs. Winter in Korea can be hard, but it’s also fun in its own way cos you got to stay warm.
What I love is how Koreans celebrate each season. They eat different foods, wear different clothes, and even plan activities depending on the weather. Each season feels special in its own way. Every feels amazing.
Where I live, we don’t have all four seasons, so reading about Korea’s changing weather was really interesting for me.
Thanks for reading! Tomorrow, I’ll be sharing about Korea’s top tourist places so many cool spots to visit
See you on Day 6
